Starlight Six Drive-In Movie Theater – Atlanta GA Retro Roadmap Worthy Places

Here are some quick tips for vintage and retro roadmap worthy places in Atlanta GA - we wish we could've spent more time with 'em - but check them out for us next time you're in the area!

The Majestic Diner
The interior of the Majestic has been recently re-done and the food was standard, but no one can deny the allure of their wonderful vintage neon signage and chasing lightbulbs.

The Majestic "diner" has been serving "Food That Pleases" since 1929, and is open 24 hours a day, every day, 'cept for closing on Christmas eve. They reopen the day after Xmas at 6am.

Starlight Six Drive-In Movie Theatre
The Starlight Six is Atlanta's only remaining Drive In Movie Theater and I'm grateful to the folks at Drive-Ins.com for providing the background on The Starlight.

If it weren't for them we would not know that the Starlight opened in 1949 as a single screen DI and stayed that way 'til the 80's when it went  to a 4, then a 6 screen outdoor cinema. As you can read on the marquee they have flea markets during the weekend days.

The Fabulous Fox Theatre
The Fox Theatre is in the heart of Atlanta and on the Register of Historic Places.

Built in the pre-crash 1920's the 4000+ seat Fox has managed to survive in part because of the citizens of Atlanta who rallied to save it from demolition in the 1970's.

I encourage you to read the interesting history of this classic venue here on their website or on the Fox Theatre's Wikipedia page. Even if you don't read a word of it, do yourself a favor and check out the Fox's schedule if you're ever in the area and see a show at this grand old theatre.
